我的答案：

I am working in a marketing role at a tech firm and I believe that data analytics would be really helpful to my career. Nowadays data analytics is a hot topic and could apply to many fields, including marketing. With data analytics, I can help my company to predict consumer behaviour, back up my decision making and determine the return on investment of my company’s marketing efforts. I believe that data analytics is playing an important role and will be more and more important in marketing, especially digital marketing, which is a major part of my job responsibility.

However, I could not afford to pay for the course because my family financially depends on me and I cannot invest money in myself. Also, as a fresh graduate, I do not have a lot of savings in my account. With the current pandemic, the unemployment rate is getting higher and I need to keep more cash on hand to prepare for any unpredicted situations. At the same time, I need to keep equip myself in order to secure a job in the job market.

I am a responsible student. I would finish the course on schedule and do all assignments by myself with a high standard. I had previously completed the FinTech: Finance Industry Transformation and Regulation Specialization on time and received good grades. This can prove that I do take online courses seriously.

我的答案：

I am interested in obtaining the IBM Data Analyst Professional Certificate and this course is included in this professional certificate. This course is the course that I am most interested in. In this digital era, everyone needs to have some knowledge of programming, and Python is the most popular and one of the most widely used programming language. Unfortunately, I have not got a chance to learn Python yet and I think that this course will be a good start.

Python can be helpful to marketers, especially in digital marketing. Python can help me get more insights from data, make better-informed data-driven decisions, automate routine activities, and increase the return of investment from marketing campaigns.

I can confidently say that working knowledge of Python can definitely increase my competitiveness in the job market. After completing this course, I think I am going to know if I have the potential to become a data analyst.
